"Microsoft's communications chief has a tough job these days, and with Windows 8 is under attack from all sides he's bravely called for a return to the center and a less partisan conversation about the new OS. There's just one problem: The periodicals he’s called out for engaging in 'sensationalism and hyperbole' are in fact right about Microsoft's strategy. And ignoring that is the real problem."

Microsoft is engaging in their usual tactic ... blasting the critics as wrong, while desperately upgrading Win 8 to address the very criticisms they dispute. Nothing new here, they've operated this way for 20 years.
